    So are Wrigley and Yankee Stadium among the only stadiums left that do not have a coporate name on them?

    Natch. Fenway's named after the Fenway Realty Company, which was owned by the father of former Red Sox owner John Taylor. The company, not the field (contrary to popular belief), is the one named after the section of town called the Fens.

    Fenway Park: the first corporate-named stadium! :D

    The Marlins still play at Dolphin Stadium and the Dolphins play at Pro Player Stadium?

    I thought we were talking about baseball stadiums, but since you're going that route ...

    Two stadiums that bear the name of one man.

    I'm feeling nostalgic for Enron Field.

    I think they should just call it The Prog.
